I think what Ed is getting at, is that you claim your offering is "100% free and open source", but a promotion code is needed to qualify this. You then go on to say that "more than 80% of the source codes are open source and you can see our source code from GitHub, But the part of related to the license has been encrypted".

Is your product free and open source, or is a license of some kind required to make it work?

Sorry for this late post, but I wanted to know if its allowed to sell paid licenses on open source products?

I was under the impression that something like Apache which is under the GNU public license cannot be sold, and whatever is developed using open source available knowledge repository can also not be charged for.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

It depends on the specific license, but there are plenty of companies whose business is built on selling open source products, including very large ones such as Red Hat. There are also millions of companies who integrate open source software into closed source products quite legitimately.
Whilst open source means that you can't charge for the source code itself, you can charge for binaries, support and other professional services.

That said, in this specific case, I don't think the OP actually understands what "open source" means.

Care to address the original "open source" issue which remains unanswered?

Hello sir,
If I'm not made mistake,
Our platform is free for changing copyright, logo or customization.
As I said, more than 80% of the codes are open source, But some part related to the licence, encrypted.
And we gave promotion code to webhostchat customers to try us for free.
I think we should call it Eclipse licence. Our platform Is free to change the source code, but it's not free to sell or use without the licence.
I'm so sorry for missing your question.
Best regards.

Originally you stated that the code is "100% free and open source", however now you are saying that "more than 80% of the codes are open source"...

What license is the open source code under?

Please provide a link to the code on GitHub.

It seems that you don't actually understand what "open source" is. I suggest that you read https://opensource.org/osd-annotated before further claiming that your software is "open source".

Hello,
Here is the source code: https://github.com/payacloud/autovm
100% free to use by using the entered promotion code, And opensource (this is an option and it doesn't mean thoroughly opensource).
As I said, This is not based on GNU license, We use Eclipse licence.
Best regards.
